  • For me dancing is not just moving your arms and legs but basically it's a very spiritual experience. It's part of me and a second nature to me. You can say it is in my blood.
  • I don't understand the difference between being a star and being an actress. If you are a good actress, you can also be a star but it does not work the other way round. You must be able to deliver the goods.
  • I hope I am not sounding presumptuous or vain. but I think like Sridevi, I was another heroine who could break the barriers between the classes and the masses.
  • It's so ironical. When you finally achieve recognition, you hide behind dark glasses.
  • Good films flop, atrocious films do well. Uncertainty is the only certainty in this business.
  • The tendency in the media is to portray everyone in the film industry as sex-starved creatures. Please spare us.
  • Depend on yourself and you will never be let down.
  • Acting is a bit like cycling. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you just peddle on.
  • I find it funny to praise myself, but I think I am beautiful, just like Chandramukhi.
  • I have never been a part of the numbers game. We are not racing horses, who should be numbered. Either the work you do is good or bad.
  • When Hussainji narrated the script [on Gaja Gamini] to me, I couldn´t understand it. And I told him so. So, he worked out a storyboard and then I could visualize the whole film. You know the film is like a painting on celluloid.
  • I adore the concept of being in love with one guy and spending the rest of my life with him.
  • My family gives me enough security and warmth. I don’t have to look for it outside! After achieving so much success and fame I’m apprehensive about people’s motives. I want to be sure that people want to be friends with me and not my fame!

About Madhuri Dixit[edit]

  • Madhuri was crowned the queen of Bollywood and her star status reached a level where she was called the ‘female Amitabh Bachhan’. Her stage shows sold out and fans flocked to her shootings to catch a glimpse of the ultimate star. She has ever been called the peace maker between India and Pakistan as a Pakistani official joked to a national newspaper on his visit to India "You can keep Kashmir, give us Madhuri".
  • Madhuri is an excellent dancer. She is in the same league with actresses like Waheeda Rehman and Meena Kumari as far as dancing is concerned. She dances with a lot of grace. I think she is the best dancer in Indian cinema after Waheeda Rehman. She reminds me of her,
  • I worked with her for the first time in 1997 for a dance sequence where actor (Shah Rukh) is playing the drum in another room and she dances on those beats.
  • It has been more than 15 years but her dedication towards dance is the same. She grasps quickly and is a genius dancer. Her expressions are just perfect.
  • Madhuri has kept the tradition of classical dance in cinema alive. Be it Devdas's 'Kahe Ched Mohe' or dance sequence of DTPH , she has performed brilliantly.
